"Are we going to lie to him?" Erend looked at Lt. Boartusk.
Lt. Boartusk returned Erend's gaze. "Elves are usually more anxious when it comes to the Fountain of Eternity. We can use that to get them to act faster."
Billy snorted. "So we planning to trick them?"
"I didn't say we were going to trick them," Lt. Boartusk pauses for a few seconds. "Well, yes, we'll trick them. But if it can bring their keys back sooner, wouldn't that be a good thing for them too?"
Billy nodded in agreement. "Of course, lieutenant. Even when you say we have to trick them. I won't mind. It's not like we're friends with the Elves, right?"
Erend nodded along with Billy's words. Among the three of them, no one felt that what they were doing was wrong. Because they did it to the Elves. The one who made their life difficult from the start.
After all, if the lie could get them to get the key back faster, of course, that would also benefit them.
